Minister of Justice Han Dong-hoon: ``Is the investigation into serious misconduct the reason for impeaching the minister?...We will respond with dignity.'' - South Korea
Minister of Justice Han Dong-hoon said on the 27th that some opposition parties are calling for his impeachment, saying, ``We must investigate and punish various serious violations committed by our own party representatives in accordance with laws and procedures.''
"Is this a reason for the Democratic Party (opposition) to impeach the minister?" Minister Han told reporters at the government building in Gwacheon this afternoon, ``Since last year, the Democratic Party has been working hard every time we have time.
He has publicly announced his intention to impeach me." Minister Han said, ``When the power of the majority party obstructs a criminal investigation and defends the crime, it prevents such outside influence and distorts the investigation.''
It is the Minister of Justice's duty to ensure that no one is allowed to act or be influenced." He continued, ``If the Democratic Party of Japan were to actually proceed with some kind of procedure against me, I would not participate in the process.
We will respond with dignity." Prior to this, National Intelligence Service Director Park Ji-won (former Park Ji-won) was interviewed on the BBS radio program 'Jung Young-shin's Morning Journal'.
``Either Minister Han, who has suppressed the opposition parties in this way and has been acting up, will take responsibility for this and resign himself, or President Yoon Seo-gyeol will dismiss him, or else.
I think they should be impeached in the Diet. Someone has to take responsibility." When asked whether he thought the prosecution's investigation was unreasonable, Minister Han said, ``20 people involved and practitioners
This is a case in which Hodo is being restrained. If you think about the process by which the definition of the criminal justice system is realized for the general public, I think you would be hesitant to say something like that.''
. In response to the court's ruling that ``as a sitting party representative, it is difficult to conclude that there is a risk of destruction of evidence,'' the prosecutor's investigation team responded, ``We are concerned that there may be political considerations in the judiciary.''
"It seems like a common sense word," he said. Prior to this, Minister Han told reporters on his way to work at the Gwacheon Government Building that ``The decision to issue a detention warrant is just an intermediate step in a criminal investigation.''
do not have. (The content) does not mean that he is innocent." Chief Justice Han said, ``Just because a politician commits a crime does not mean that the judiciary becomes politics, and that should not happen.''
I think the investigation will be carried out without wavering." He added, ``Up until now, the prosecutor's office has followed procedures and conducted fair investigations, and will continue to do so. (The remaining investigations) will proceed smoothly.''
” he said. Concerning the fear that the rejection of the arrest warrant will weaken future investigations, he says, ``Criminal investigations reveal the truth and hold those who deserve responsibility accountable.We don't need anything like that.''
The stem is the power," he emphasized. Early in the morning, the Seoul Central District Court ruled, ``Taking into consideration the extent of the need to guarantee the suspect's right to defense and the extent of the fear that evidence may be destroyed, the principle of non-detention investigation against the suspect cannot be ruled out.''
It is difficult to see that there is sufficient reason and necessity for their detention to exclude them,'' he said, rejecting the warrant for the arrest of Democratic Party representatives along with Lee Jae-myung.
